This webinar is for CHSP-funded aged care staff responsible for documenting client records. It's tailored for case managers, program and support coordinators, nursing and allied health professionals.
It will build your understanding and confidence about what should be documented and how it should be done to comply with legislation and workplace policies. We'll explore the crossover of legislation that is used to form policies and procedures within your organisation and how to ensure compliance.
We'll review the use of templates, terminology and acronyms. We'll cover how to use language that is objective and clear to all stakeholders + discuss consent and how this applies to sharing information, including client rights and how they access records.
Key Questions we'll answer
• What is effective documentation?
• When and what terminology and acronyms should be used?
• What methods are used for collecting information (including formats and templates)?
• Who will be reading your information and what do they need to do with it?
• How can you document your information with clarity and be specific?
• What is the Freedom Of Information (FOI) Act 1982 and how can information be requested?
• What is the Privacy ACT 1988 and who is exempt?
• What are the Privacy Principles and how can records be accessed?
• What is the purpose of the Health Records ACT 2001 and how do we store records?
• How do we determine consent for sharing and collecting information?
Along with the above Acts and Principles, the content of this webinar will reflect the Aged Care Quality Standards and CHSP programme guidelines + include relevant case studies and examples.
